The US band didn’t give a specific reason why they are no longer able to play on Saturday at the Michael Forever concert but blamed ‘unavoidable circumstances’ on the no-show.

Chris Hunt, CEO of Global Live Events, said: ‘It is with regret that we announce the removal of Black Eyed Peas from the Michael Forever bill, but I look forward to a great night with other earth-shattering artists.

‘The event is really getting into gear and is going to be a fantastic evening for all.’

The Black Eyed Peas were one of the biggest names on the bill for the star-studded event at Millennium Stadium.
